there is no difference between mortgage interests and property tax and other itemized deductions on the tax filings. they are all deductions. if the total of itemized deductions is more than that of standard deduction, then you got the benefits. otherwise no. and the tax benefits is associated to the total, not to amount of each category. also since this is the your first tax filing after buying your house, you paid only interests of 4 months the tax benefit is not big. on next year's tax filing

two possible reason: 1. your itemize deduction is just over your standard deduction. 2. You triggered AMT.
你去年交的property tax是前年的,ur seller should transfer this portion to u during the closing and it is the seller not u buyer that could enjoy this tax deduction
